You might want to pick up a book or two. Perhaps something by Stephen Hawking. X-rays *are* light.
My understanding of it is as follows: light is not *attracted* to a blackhole, however any light crossing the event horizon is lost. This occurs because the mass of the blackhole warps space-time into an infinitely deep well. Light which only comes close to the event horizon is sling-shot around the blackhole, and this is gravitational lensing.
You don't down tear down a forest to build a wind farm, you put in the desert, on a rocky ridge, or the coast. think a little. Further, no matter what you do you are taking "energy from the ecosystem", that's the whole goddman point! In any event, that might not be such a bad thing given global warming and the trapping of energy that should otherwise be lost to space.
The problem with solar is the immense amount of energy and chemicals required for fab. Solar cells don't need to be up to chip fab standards, but they still need to be decent.
The best solution is probably to create solar cells on the moon. And have the majority of power beamed down from satellites.
NO, but wouldn't you think they'd need approval to launch a rocket of any significant size? It's just a bomb with a controlled explosion... Heck, airplanes are regulated and that's just JP4. I sure as hell hope somebody's looking over their shoulder.

Some PC manufactures did this recently.. and called it "shared memory". I have a Monorail PC (it was a hardware division of Corel IIRC) that allocates (at a minimum, even with an offboard video card) 2M of the system memory for video.

Please do some research on question one,
it is a gross fallacy "that almost any other language will beat it hands-down in terms of
speed."
"I know there's only so much you can do with an interpretted language, but I was wondering if any steps were being taken or any special focus being made towards making Perl faster"
Perl is not, strictly, an interpreted language.
Among other things Parrot in Perl 6 will
make it much easier to save and execute bytecode.

You have to educate yourself about what you are getting into. It's your own responsibility and nobody else's. Unfortunately many people don't. Some of these are brought in by advertisments etc. portaying the web as the greatest thing since sliced bread, and even easier to use.
Indeed, who needs a living wage? That is not to imply that some have not been making exorbitant amounts of money in the recent past, but instead that even a living wage in most of the US (if not all) is more than what some intnernational workers receive.
Try doing a little reasearch. Satellites are not the problem. The problem are small fast-moving objects; bolts, tiles, micro-meteorites. AKA the things you can't see until it's too late, if you're lucky.
